Summary
She thought she was losing her mind. Crying spells, sleepless nights, mood swings, body pain... but no one ever said, “This is perimenopause.” . In this episode, we sit down with our soul sister Maria, who opens up about her personal hell navigating perimenopause — the decade-long hormonal chaos no one prepares you for. From hot flashes and brain fog to rage, frozen shoulders, and “Why am I crying over a dog?” moments… this is the midlife conversation every woman needs to hear. . We get real about: • What perimenopause actually feels like • How women are still being dismissed, misdiagnosed, and ignored • Why so many of us think we’re just overwhelmed or “going crazy” • The emotional toll it takes on work, relationships, and identity • What helped Maria finally turn a corner — and what didn’t . This is the episode we all wish we heard before it started. You're not broken. You're not alone. You're just in it. . 🔗 Connect With Us Instagram → @midlifemafiapodcast TikTok → @midlifemafia .
